I gotta let despair in
To rearrange the furniture
Encoding clues to my existence
Under an ever-winding learning curve
So I just drank the hope antidote
I’m waiting for it to kick in
They say that it’s fast-acting
But I can feel the faith still creeping in
Cuz I know optimism is an optimal poison
Sweet enough to lure all us little girls and boys in
Wary of prevailing tides
I swim through quiet oceans straight to the noise inside
Right in its throbbing center
I’m a master in search of a mentor
I’m a bastard trying to marry his parents off
Trying hard to make it look not so apparent that i’m lost
Trying hard not to make it look apparent that i’m lost
